Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
Vehicle runs
sluggishly
Undercharged battery
Charge the battery. A new battery should
have been charged for at least 18 hours
before using the vehicle for the first time.
After first-time use, recharge the battery
for at least 12 hours after each use. Never
charge the battery longer than 30 hours.
Check all connectors.
Make sure the battery connector is tightly
plugged into the charger connector, and that
the charger is plugged into the wall outlet.
Make sure that there is power flow to the
wall outlet.
Battery needs charging
Be sure to charge the battery after each use.
Vehicle is overloaded
Make sure you do not overload the vehicle
by allowing more than two riders at one time,
exceeding the 130 Ibs. maximum weight
capacity, or by towing objects behind the
vehicle. If the vehicle is overloaded, the fuse
may “trip”, and automatically shut down
operation of the vehicle for approximately
2 minutes. Correct the condition that lead
to the overload and adjust the driving
conditions to prevent repeated automatic
shutdowns.
Driving conditions too
stressful
Use only on level ground.
Sometimes the
vehicle doesn’t
run, but other
times it does
Loose wire or
connector
Check all wires around the motors and all
connectors to make sure they are tight.
When the button
is pressed, the
vehicle won’t run
without a push
Check all wires around the motors and all
connectors to make sure they are tight.
The battery’s fuse
constantly “trips”,
but the vehicle is
not overloaded
and the driving
conditions are
not severe
Damaged battery
Replace with new battery. Replace only with
an original 12 Volt (10 Amp/Hr.) battery. Do
not use non-original substitute parts.
Charger gets
warm during use
It is normal for some
chargers to get warm
during use and is not
reason for concern
Some chargers do not
get warm during use
No action required.
If your charger does not get warm during
use, it does not mean that it is not working
properly.
Battery makes
a sizzling or
gurgling noise
when charging
It is normal for
some batteries to
make noise and
swell slightly while
charging and is not
reason for concern
No action required.
If your battery does not make noise or swell
slightly while charging, it does not mean that
it is not working properly
